NO ONE NOTICES THE CONTRAST OF WHITE ON WHITE...

NO ONE NOTICES THE CONTRAST OF WHITE ON WHITE....

Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.), the Senate's most right-wing member, thinks conservative activists demanding a right-wing shift in government policy are just the regular ol' American mainstream.

"This is not some kind of radical right-wing group. I just hope the Congress, the Senate and the president recognize that people are afraid of what's going on."

I see. Confederate-flag waving conservatives, who think Democrats are Nazis, are just normal, middle-of-the-road Americans.

<...>

As for what the overwhelmingly-white crowd had to say, I still think these protests could benefit from some focus. We learned today that right-wing activists don't like government spending (except when Bush and Republican lawmakers spent freely), don't like the size of government (except when Bush and Republican lawmakers increased the size of government), don't like deficits and debt (except when Bush and Republican lawmakers added trillions to the nation's tab), and don't like czars (except when Bush used dozens of them to implement his agenda).

They don't like health-care reform, though it's not clear why. They don't like gun control, though it's not clear why they think anyone's coming for their firearms. They also don't like taxes, immigration, abortion, Muslims, the U.N., and the idea of "socialism," though their understanding of the word is tenuous at best.

In other words, the point of today's rally was to let the country know there are a lot of right-wing activists with right-wing beliefs. We knew that before today, but I guess they wanted to remind us.

2. These lunatics definitely hate Democrats, but there is
no denying they are racists. Members of Congress associating with them should be called out for condoning racism.

3. I think the racism is inbred in
them. They're all insecure in their manhood or womanhood and it makes them feel better about themselves that they have one thing..i.e. ..being white. BFD.

5. Yep, yep. Pathetic losers, one and all. And....

most of them are fugly. Of course, it's their character -- or lack thereof -- that makes them fugly. But they're just fugly.

4. I dunno if Jim notices, but his party lost the last two elections
I think that's a pretty good indicator that these people don't represent normal middle-of-the-road Americans.
